Annual Mobility Report 2024
Understanding the trends and conditions occurring in the North Florida will allow planners and engineers to prioritize resources more effectively as part of the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization’s (TPO) Congestion Management Process. The data presented are an essential part of making evidence-based decisions for the investment in mobility in North Florida. The data presented focuses on Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties for the years 2017-2022 and 2023 when available. This report summarizes trends in the following topics:
1 Economic Competitiveness
1.1 Travel Time Reliability
Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) is defined as the ratio of the longer travel times (80th percentile) to a “normal” travel time (50th percentile). LOTTR assesses the consistency, or dependability, of travel times from day to day or across different times of the day on the State Highway System (SHS).
The map shows the critical Level of Travel Time Reliability of the four time periods (AM Peak, Mid Day, PM Peak, and Weekends) in 2022
1.2 Pavement Condition on Primary Freight Corridors
2 Sustainable Communities
2.1 Transit Accessibility
2.2 Bicyclist and Pedestrian Quality of Service
2.3 Impacts of Investments on the Natural Environment
Environmental Screening Tool FDOT 5 Year Work Program Meta Data
2.4 Emissions
2.5 Trail Connectivity
2.6 Pedestrian Connectivity
3 Safe and Secure Travel
Crash data was compiled from several sources including the FDOT safety office, signal four analytics, and FDOT State Safety Office historical Crash Analysis Reporting (CAR) database. According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were a total of 31,964 crashes that occurred over the four North Florida TPO counties. Duval County accounted for a majority of these crashes due to the county population and extent of roadways present.

6 Equity
6.1 Poverty
Transportation barriers are the third leading cause of missing a medical appointment for older adults across the country. Medically Underserved Areas/Populations are areas or populations designated by the U.S. Department of Health Resources and Services Administration as having too few primary care providers, high infant mortality, high poverty or a high elderly population. Nearly 370,000 persons in North Florida live in medically underserved areas. There are no benchmarks for population in underserved areas. It is desirable to ensure the population is adequately served.
Accessing affordable and nutritious food was a challenge for nearly 800,000 persons in North Florida in 2015 (the latest date statistics are available). The US Economic Research Service of the Department of Agriculture identifies populations whose food security is at risk if they live in low-income areas and do not have a grocery store within 1 mile in an urban area and 10 miles in a rural area. There are no benchmarks for population living with food uncertainty. It is desirable to ensure the population is adequately served.
The following map highlights areas designated as medically underserved in 2019 and areas without reliable access to healthy foods in 2015 (the latest date statistics are available).
